Hcation in the record of the proceedings.
MIR. II. L. Clark in the name of the

The committee on examination of the
,taG,rb state board So. OF pharmacy, reported
they had done. They had received ,2SO
applications and examined twenty new
applicants for membership, but had not
passed upon the latter because of want
OF time. They had also decided to not
respect certificate from any other state,
the idea being that such applicants ought
to undergo examination the same as any
other applicant.
N. A. Kuhn, of Omaha, was appointed
chairman of the delegation to the con-
vention of the National Retail Dealers
association.
The committee on delinquent members
was not prepared to report, and on mo-
tion of Mr., Daubach, it was decided that
the committee should be empowered to
make whatever arrangements might to
them seem advisable with the secretary
with regard to delinquents. ....
Mr.. Kuhn moved that graduates of col
leges of pharmacy which required four
years of practical experience before un-
dergoing examination, be admitted to
practice without again undergoing ex-
animation IN this state.
This motion brought out lengthy dis
cussion, in which some opposed and
others favored the motion, while others
still thought it would be a matter of
doubtful advisability, especially because
of the wording of the law, which did not
seem to encourage it.
The sentiment of the meeting was in
favor of respecting collegiate diplomas,
such as those mentioned, though the law
opposed it, and the matter was dis.
posed of.
1t was decided to sustain the board of
examiners in refusing to recognize GER
titicates from other state pharmacy
boards, without examination of the ap-
plicants.
A vote of thanks was extended to the
press, the wholesale and retail druggists,
the exhibitors and all the hotels, for
courtesies shown the delegates. Another
vote was rendered Mr.. N. A. Kuhn, ID.
W. SAKE for the manner in which they
had done their work in connection with
the convention. Thanks were also ten.
dered to the National Druggist.
